My experiance in Germany as a GI was that it's a nice place to
visit, but I wouldn't want to live there. At least they fight
with their fists though, as in the U.S. you have to kill your
opponent with a weapon :-)
Just a guess, but I'd say this guy is on a burn-out and will
probably go away rather quickly. He's just making trouble
because he can. If you would build a network to replace his
then you could make him insignificant and he will go away
even faster. I'd say his attitude is not normal and should
be shunned by decent hams. There's probably a nice guy in the
same area willing to help.

These activities qualify as malicious interference, and are punishable (at
least in the USA) by fines and, in serious cases, by forfeiture of licenses.
Just ask W4AD here in Northern Virginia, who has been facing a $2,000 fine
for the last 12 months, and has just been denied his appeal. Invoke the
proper authorities next time you see such behaviour and let the FCC raise
some cash by means other than license fees.

This is AMATEUR radio. It's a HOBBY. People lose interest in hobbies from
time to time. That's one reason why repeaters are often owned and operated
by a group of hams, instead of by individuals. If someone drifts out of
the fun, the repeater stays on the air. Packet doesn't have as much of this
sort of support, in part because you can put a network node on the air with
off-the-shelf components for the cost of a decent HF transceiver. If
repeaters were as cheap and easy to set up, they'd probably be in the same
boat.

An excellant idea. A bunch of the Northern VA packet and TCP/IP gang make
a regular event out of this. When someone drifts through the area, we
shanghai them for an evening or two and trade ideas, experiences, and
french fries.
